It sounds like that Human Head quote is very carefully worded. They don't ever explicitly say that they are or aren't developing Prey 2.

Here is what they say broken down:

1. They can't comment on its status.
2. They have never announced it(despite both 3DR and them mentioning it in interviews soon after the release of Prey and Radar Group mentioning it on their website as a project in development in cooperation with Human Head from the day the website went online upto and including now, but technically yes there hasn't been an annoucement/press release).
3. They are not sure the starting assumption is valid.
4. They are interested in developing it.

I can't see which of these 4 points say they aren't(or are for that matter) developing it.

The statement looks to be very very carefully worded to not confirm or deny either way. But I agree something is going on with regard to Prey 2. I have suspected that since Human Head announced their co-operation with Marc Ecko Entertainment.

. . . linked to a pair of blog posts (which have since been removed) from a Human Head employee; One is an older post saying employees were taking week-long unpaid furloughs to help with cash flow since they had no current projects.

My point is does Radar Group ACTUALLY operate as it advertises itself, or it is just an interesting idea/thought by Scott gone bad/abandoned/that didn't catch and now operates as a "leftover" of that. Also, giving the Prey IP is a normal operation for Radar Group, or not?

(sorry for my english )

Well they have their projects that are in the works. We can't really say anything much about how well things have been going for Radar Group. They released their first Depth Entertainment movie. But that was a leftover from before Scott Faye started Depth, it was a licensed project from Take Two and it wasn't created using their idea of telling different slices of a storyverse in different media. Also it isn't just Scott Miller:

I don't know. But "giving" is almost certainly not what happened here. I don't think selling the IP's will be the usual course of business for Radar. But I think Scott mentioned that as possibility a couple of years back. I don't remember if that was in connection with Radar or it was in pre-Radar times. But basically the concept was to create a new IP, grow it into a success and then sell it. But the more usual thing will probably be for Radar Group to profit from being a co-owner in the IP.

No News on Earth No More, Prey 2, or Incarnata or the other 2 games in the blank slots

Well, why not? Prey 1 used the Doom 3 engine, so it seems like Human Head has some good relationship with id's technologies, and with Zenimax under the Prey project, as well as having ownership in the engine technology licensing, it all seems to come together.

Zenimax owns Prey and they know that they have one of the best developers of FPS games in id Software. So I am quite sure they will let id do Prey 2. There's only one problem though. We may have to wait for years before Prey 2 gets released. Why ? Because id has quite a few projects already under development, Rage, Doom 4, Quake Live and Quake 5 Arena. So until these games are finished, I don't see id starting to develop Prey 2 now.

I highly doubt it would be ID doing Prey 2... ID tends to work on their own IP's and the development of new IP's they would never look at Prey 2 with the goal of making it themselves so the only way they would make it is if their publisher forced them to which they would never do.

The most logical thing for Zenimax to do would be to have Human Head develop Prey 2.
